Greyhound Concession Pact Rejected by Union Members
After a 96.4 percent no vote, Greyhound workers prepare to return to work at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday as ballots mailed December 7-8 shaped the outcome.

Greyhound had resumed limited service in 27 states two weeks into the strike, facing sporadic violence as strikers sought to halt buses.
